If autumn could be summed up in a picture, it would be this one:
Golden leaves, the sauna house and Ruby posing by the water.
Simmie would rather explore
And swim than pose.
A week later, even more leaves have fallen off the trees,
Like whispers, and I see another portrait of the sauna house
Peeking out from behind the leaves.
For more portraits, please go to: Our World.

Your photos all suggest self-care: enjoying fading autumn beauty, the pleasures of pet life, and restorative sauna visits. Thank you, Lady Fi!

Do you use the sauna, Fi? I can’t remember seeing it before. Now, I’ll look for it in your photos as winter approaches. The pups are photogenic as usual.

The sauna was built by members of the caravan club and only used by them… (Unfortunately). But I do like the extra photogenic element it gives my photos!

“Hey, person in the Sauna house, what do you see out of you window?”
” The breathtaking beauty of mother nature, the fallen leaves that promise a new era, the silent ripples in the water and my dear Ruby.”
“Hey, city guy, what do you see out?”
“Why do you even ask? I see my peeping neighbour, hundreds of skyscrapers, multiplexes, noisy cars, smoke, frowning people and the daily hustle-bustle of the maddening urban. And you know what, I am very busy now. I have been working on my PC since hours!!! Bye.”
Awesome shots. Thank you Lady Fi. I really want to spend some time there.💟

Though I associate saunas with Finland and it’s expats, there is no question that this one in the picture warms up the portrait of Autumn. I often dub landscapes as portraits, after all Nature is usually, and rightfully so, the main subject -everything else elements of the story. These picture put me in my place, that being, I am, we are, smaller in the scheme of things. I guess the word would be ‘humbling’. And on that note, we had our first snow last night, 2cm; talk about humbling.
